Introduction: This project is a collaborative project between the DFT 215 CAD students of Manhattan Area
Technical College and the Culinary Arts students from area high schools in Olathe Kansas. As such this
project weighs heavily on your final grade, accounting for 47% of your final grade. This portion of the
project accounts for 150 points. The project will be worked on the entire semester with assignments due
throughout the semester.
Students will be completing both a foundation plan and a floor plan for their assigned project. Research
will need to be done on ADA requirements for building accessibility, fire escapes per code, and commercial
grade equipment sizes.
The foundation plan will be worth 50 points and the floor plan will be worth 100 points.

Think about how you can
incorporate this into your
curriculum

Now consider how you could combine them
into a larger project.

Consider including a college or school
department that has a 3D printer and watch
the ideas expand.
Possible curriculum
combinations

3D projects:
 Chess sets
 Room models
 School tokens
 Chemistry displays
 DNA Models
 Dental Models
 Pre-Project Models
 Historical buildings
 3D Masterpiece Art Works
Incorporating this into your
curriculum
 All these projects/assignments could be started in one
course/class, sent to the CAD class for
drawings/models and then returned to the original class
for follow-ups.
 Let your imagination wonder!!
 Think outside the box!
 Any assignment that could include drafting style
drawings is an opportunity.
 Students at MATC have done design drawings for
homes, public swimming pools and more.
 CAD students have completed a 3D project of the entire
MATC campus including landscape.
How you can also incorporate this into
your curriculum
Contact a Technical College that has a CAD or
Engineering Technology Department. Talk with the
faculty about your ideas.
Talk with your schools Drafting faculty about ideas.
Talk with other faculty at your own schools and
colleges for possible ideas for collaboration projects.
